Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lighting control technology, and in particular to a control method for an integrated water tank, a computer-readable storage medium, a control device for an integrated water tank, and an integrated water tank. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing trend towards intelligent and user-friendly design in kitchen appliances, integrated dishwashers, as an important kitchen appliance for improving the quality of family life, are receiving increasing attention from consumers for their functionality and user experience. To further enhance the convenience and visibility of the washing process, many integrated dishwashers on the market are now equipped with sink lighting, providing users with a clear and bright operating view during the washing process through built-in lighting.

[0003] However, in implementing this function, the relevant control schemes have revealed a series of problems. For example: Mechanical button control schemes: Under long-term use, mechanical buttons have a limited lifespan and are prone to malfunction or failure, affecting the user experience and increasing product maintenance costs. Touch electronic control: There is the problem of oil stains. Inevitably, the switch surface will come into contact with the user's fingers or other objects during use, resulting in oil stains. This not only affects the aesthetics of the product but may also cause the switch function to be obstructed due to oil accumulation, requiring users to perform additional cleaning and maintenance, increasing the burden of use. Limitations of infrared sensing control schemes: Infrared sensing technology faces the challenge of being prone to accidental touches or difficult to accurately trigger in practical applications. On the one hand, overly sensitive sensing may cause the light to turn on unexpectedly when the user has not performed a clear operation; on the other hand, insensitive sensing may require the user to try multiple times to successfully trigger the switch, seriously affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, the first objective of this invention is to provide a control method for an integrated sink that improves the durability of control components, effectively prevents oil contamination, and enhances the reliability and accuracy of integrated sink control, thereby reducing maintenance and cleaning costs and improving the user experience.

[0005] A second objective of this invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium.

[0009] According to the integrated sink control method of the present invention, a first duration for which the detection module continuously detects the target signal is obtained. If the first duration is greater than or equal to the state judgment duration, the state of the lighting module is changed. The state of the lighting module includes an on state and an off state. Then, a second duration for which the lighting module is continuously in the on state is obtained. If the second duration is less than the first preset duration, the state judgment duration is updated. This improves the durability of the control components, effectively prevents oil contamination, and enhances the reliability and accuracy of the integrated sink control, thereby reducing maintenance and cleaning costs and improving the user experience.

[0010] In addition, the integrated water tank control method according to the above embodiments of the present invention may further include the following additional technical features:

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, changing the state of the lighting module includes: changing the lighting module from the on state to the off state, or changing the lighting module from the off state to the on state.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the integrated water tank further includes a machine head and a water tank portion.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base and the water tank are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, and the height of the machine head body is greater than the farthest detection distance of the detection module.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the water tank includes a cleaning space, and the detection direction of the detection module is inclined towards the cleaning space in a top-to-bottom direction.

[0034] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an integrated water tank control method, a computer-readable storage medium, an integrated water tank control device, and an integrated water tank according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the control method of the integrated water tank according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the integrated water tank includes a lighting unit, which includes a lighting module and a detection module, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the control method for the integrated water tank includes:

[0038] S101, Obtain the first duration for which the detection module continuously detects the target signal.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the detection module includes at least one infrared sensor, which can continuously monitor target signals within a specific area. The infrared sensor has a built-in signal transmitting device and a signal receiving device. The signal transmitting device continuously emits infrared light signals. When the infrared light signals encounter obstacles or target objects, they are reflected. When the reflected infrared light signals are successfully captured by the signal receiving device, the system determines that the detection module has detected the target signal. It should be noted that the presence of reflected infrared light signals means that an object exists within the detection range of the infrared sensor, and that the object is sufficient to block and reflect the infrared light signals. In addition, the system has a built-in timer. Once the detection module detects the target signal for the first time, the timer starts. Subsequently, as long as the signal receiving device continues to receive reflected infrared light signals, the timer will continue to run and record time until the target object moves out of the detection range, or the reflected signal weakens to below the system's preset sensitivity threshold, causing the signal receiving device to no longer be able to effectively receive the reflected signal. At this time, the time displayed on the timer is the first duration for which the detection module has continuously detected the target signal.

[0040] S102, if the first duration is greater than or equal to the state judgment duration, then change the state of the lighting module. The state of the lighting module includes the on state and the off state.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the detection module continuously detects the target signal for a first duration, the system immediately enters the state judgment stage. The system compares the first duration with the state judgment duration. If the first duration is greater than or equal to the state judgment duration, it indicates that the detection module has continuously detected the target signal for a sufficiently long time to reasonably infer the user's explicit operational intent, rather than an accidental mis-touch. Based on this judgment, the system will perform a change operation on the state of the lighting module. The lighting module's state includes two types: on and off. The system will switch the lighting module from the off state to the on state to provide necessary lighting, or switch the lighting module from the on state to the off state to save energy or avoid light interference, according to the user's actual needs. The state judgment duration is preferably 0.5 seconds. Furthermore, this invention does not specifically limit the value of the preset judgment duration; the preset judgment duration is set according to the needs of the actual application scenario.

[0042] S103, obtain the second duration for which the lighting module remains on.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the lighting module is activated and enters the on state, the system immediately starts an independent timer to accurately measure the length of time the lighting module remains in the on state, i.e., the second duration for which the lighting module remains in the on state. Furthermore, the present invention does not specifically limit the method for obtaining the second duration for which the lighting module remains in the on state.

[0044] S104, if the second duration is less than the first preset duration, then the state judgment duration is updated.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, after obtaining the second duration of the lighting module being continuously on, the system immediately enters the state judgment stage. The system compares the second duration with the first preset duration. If the second duration is less than the first preset duration, it indicates that the duration of the lighting module being continuously on is very short, insufficient to indicate the user's explicit intention. Thus, the system can determine that this operation may have originated from the user's accidental touch. Based on this judgment, the system updates the state judgment duration. For example, the current state judgment duration is extended by a fixed time increment, such as 0.5 seconds, as the updated state judgment duration. This time increment can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual application scenario and user behavior pattern analysis to better adapt to the needs and habits of different users. Similarly, the increment can also be set to other reasonable time values ​​such as 0.8 seconds, 1 second, or 1.2 seconds. Here, the present invention does not specifically limit the value of the time increment. The first preset duration is preferably 5 seconds. Furthermore, the present invention does not specifically limit the value of the first preset duration.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the detection module includes at least one infrared sensor, and when the infrared sensor detects a reflected signal, it is determined that the detection module has detected a target signal.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the detection module includes at least one infrared sensor. The infrared sensor has a built-in signal transmitting device and a signal receiving device. The signal transmitting device continuously emits infrared light signals. When the infrared light signals encounter obstacles or target objects, they are reflected. When the reflected infrared light signals are successfully captured by the signal receiving device of the infrared sensor, it is determined that the detection module has detected a target signal. This invention does not specifically limit the number of infrared sensors included in the detection module.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, updating the state judgment duration includes adding a second preset duration to the state judgment duration to obtain an updated state judgment duration.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, after obtaining the second duration for which the lighting module remains in the on state, if the second duration is less than the first preset duration, the state judgment duration is added to the second preset duration to obtain the updated state judgment duration. The second preset duration is preferably 0.1 seconds. In addition, the present invention does not specifically limit the value of the second preset duration. For example, the second preset duration can also be 0.3 seconds, 0.4 seconds, or 0.5 seconds, etc.

[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the integrated sink also includes a lighting button, and the control method of the integrated sink further includes: changing the state of the lighting module when the lighting button is triggered.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the integrated sink also includes a lighting button. When the lighting button is triggered, the state of the lighting module is changed, for example, changing the lighting module from an on state to an off state, or vice versa. It should be noted that, as... Figure 2 As shown, the lighting button can be a mechanical button 103 and / or a touch button 104.

[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control method for the integrated sink further includes: restoring the state judgment duration to the initial value when the lighting button is triggered.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, after obtaining the second duration for which the lighting module remains continuously on, if the second duration is less than the first preset duration, the state judgment duration is added to the second preset duration to obtain an updated state judgment duration. If the summed state judgment duration is too long, and the user perceives the system response as relatively sluggish, the user can trigger the lighting button. Upon triggering the lighting button, the state judgment duration is restored to its initial value. The first preset duration is preferably 5 seconds, the second preset duration is preferably 0.1 seconds, and the initial state judgment duration is preferably 0.5 seconds. Furthermore, this invention does not impose specific limitations on the values ​​of the first preset duration, the second preset duration, and the state judgment duration. This enhances the control flexibility of the integrated sink, further improves the system's response speed and user satisfaction, and provides users with a more convenient and efficient kitchen experience.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the integrated water tank further includes a machine head and a water tank section. The machine head includes a machine head body and a mounting base. The machine head body extends in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the machine head body is connected to the water tank section. The mounting base is located at the upper end of the machine head body, and the lighting section is located at the mounting base.

[0055] Specifically, in this set of embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the integrated sink 1000 also includes a head unit 101 and a sink unit 102. The head unit 101 includes a head body 11 and a mounting base 12. The head body 11 extends in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the head body 11 is connected to the sink unit 102. The mounting base 12 is located at the upper end of the head body 11, and the lighting unit is located on the mounting base 12. When the lighting unit is turned on, it can provide the user with a clear and bright operating view during the cleaning process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting base and the water tank are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, and the height of the main body of the machine head is greater than the farthest detection distance of the detection module.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 12 and the sink section 102 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The height of the main body 11 of the head is greater than the farthest detection distance of the detection module 13. The height of the main body of the head can be 18 cm, and the farthest detection distance of the detection module 13 can preferably be within 10 cm of the vertical sink surface 14. This ensures that when the user operates the sink, neither their hands nor items placed in the sink will interfere with the normal operation of the detection module 13. This improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection module 13. Furthermore, the present invention does not require specific limitations on the values ​​of the height of the main body 11 of the head and the farthest detection distance of the detection module 13.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water tank includes a cleaning space, and the detection direction of the detection module is inclined towards the cleaning space from top to bottom.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water tank 102 includes a cleaning space, and the detection direction of the detection module 13 is inclined towards the cleaning space from top to bottom. The inclination angle is preferably 15 degrees, which can improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection module 13. In addition, the present invention does not specifically limit the value of the inclination angle.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the initial value T for the state judgment duration can be set to 0.5 seconds. Before the user turns on the lighting unit, the user can block the detection module by covering it with their hand. The detection module includes at least one infrared sensor, which has a built-in signal transmitting device and a signal receiving device. The signal transmitting device continuously emits infrared light signals. When the infrared light signals are blocked by the user's hand, they are reflected. When the reflected infrared light signals are successfully captured by the signal receiving device, the system determines that the detection module has detected the target signal. Then, a timer can be used to obtain the first duration t for which the detection module has continuously detected the target signal. If the first duration t is greater than or equal to the state judgment duration T, the lighting module is switched from the off state to the on state, and the timer is used to obtain the duration for which the lighting module has been in the on state. When the user blocks the detection module by covering it with their hand, the timer can be used to obtain the first duration t for which the detection module has continuously detected the target signal. If the first duration t is greater than or equal to the state judgment duration T, the lighting module is switched from the on state to the off state. At this time, the timer stops counting to obtain the second duration for which the lighting module has been in the on state. Figure 4In this context, 'ba' equals the second duration. If the second duration is less than the first preset duration, the state judgment duration is added to the second preset duration to obtain the updated state judgment duration. If the sum of the state judgment durations is too large, and the user perceives the system response as relatively sluggish, the user can trigger the lighting button. Upon triggering the lighting button, the state judgment duration T is then restored to its initial value. The first preset duration is preferably 5 seconds, and the second preset duration is preferably 0.1 seconds.

[0061] In summary, the integrated sink control method according to embodiments of the present invention obtains a first duration for which the detection module continuously detects the target signal. If the first duration is greater than or equal to the state judgment duration, the state of the lighting module is changed. The state of the lighting module includes an on state and an off state. Then, a second duration for which the lighting module is continuously in the on state is obtained. If the second duration is less than the first preset duration, the state judgment duration is updated. This improves the durability of the control components, effectively prevents oil contamination, and enhances the reliability and accuracy of integrated sink control, thereby reducing maintenance and cleaning costs and improving the user experience.

[0062] Based on the integrated water tank control method proposed in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the present invention also proposes a computationally readable storage medium storing a control program for the integrated water tank. When the control program is executed by a processor, the integrated water tank control method of the present invention is implemented.

[0063] According to embodiments of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium, by executing a control program for an integrated sink via a processor, can improve the durability of control components, effectively prevent oil contamination, and enhance the reliability and accuracy of integrated sink control, thereby reducing maintenance and cleaning costs and improving the user experience.

[0064] Figure 5 This is a block diagram of the control device for an integrated water tank according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] Specifically, the integrated water tank includes a lighting unit, which comprises a lighting module and a detection module, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the control device 100 for the integrated water tank includes an acquisition module 10 and a control module 20.

[0066] The acquisition module 10 is used to acquire a first duration for which the detection module continuously detects the target signal; the control module 20 is used to change the state of the lighting module if the first duration is greater than or equal to the state judgment duration, the state of the lighting module including an on state and an off state; the acquisition module 10 is also used to acquire a second duration for which the lighting module is continuously in the on state; the control module 20 is also used to update the state judgment duration if the second duration is less than the first preset duration.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detection module includes at least one infrared sensor, and when the infrared sensor detects a reflected signal, it is determined that the detection module has detected the target signal.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control module 20 is specifically used to add a second preset duration to the state judgment duration to obtain an updated state judgment duration.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the integrated sink further includes a lighting button, and the control module 20 is also used to change the state of the lighting module when the lighting button is triggered.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control module 20 is further configured to restore the state judgment duration to the initial value when the lighting button is triggered.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control module 20 is further configured to change the lighting module from the on state to the off state, or change the lighting module from the off state to the on state.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the integrated water tank further includes a machine head and a water tank portion. The machine head includes a machine head body and a mounting base. The machine head body extends in a vertical direction. The lower end of the machine head body is connected to the water tank portion. The mounting base is located at the upper end of the machine head body. The lighting portion is located on the mounting base.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting base and the water tank are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, and the height of the main body of the machine head is greater than the farthest detection distance of the detection module.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water tank includes a cleaning space, and the detection direction of the detection module is inclined towards the cleaning space from top to bottom.

[0075] It should be noted that other specific embodiments of the integrated water tank control device proposed in the embodiments of the present invention can be found in the specific embodiments of the integrated water tank control method described above. To reduce redundancy, they will not be repeated here.

[0076] In summary, the integrated sink control device according to the embodiments of the present invention acquires a first duration for which the detection module continuously detects the target signal through an acquisition module, and if the first duration is greater than or equal to the state judgment duration, the control module changes the state of the lighting module, which includes an on state and an off state. Furthermore, the acquisition module acquires a second duration for which the lighting module remains in the on state. If the second duration is less than a first preset duration, the control module updates the state judgment duration. This improves the durability of the control components, effectively prevents oil contamination, and enhances the reliability and accuracy of the integrated sink control, thereby reducing maintenance and cleaning costs and improving the user experience.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, the integrated water tank 1000 includes the control device 100 of the integrated water tank in the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0079] According to the integrated sink of the present invention, by adopting the control device of the integrated sink of the present invention described above, the durability of the control components can be improved, oil contamination can be effectively prevented, and the reliability and accuracy of the control of the integrated sink can be improved, thereby reducing maintenance and cleaning costs and improving the user experience.
